I looked at your home page, and saw that one of your complaints was the lack of civilty in society today. I thought, "just great, I'm being rude to Miss Manners."
BTW, who is this Paul Harvey that you speak of???
Oi!!! Yer apology is walking ye into trouble? WHICH bit are you attributing to the Irish? The thick headedness or the insensitivity? ;-) *L*
Paul Harvey has been a radio personality for as long as I remember listening to him back in the 70's. If you remember hearing his famous words, "And now you know THE REST OF THE STORY. This is Paul Harvey.........Good Day."
Anyways, I believe it was Paul Harvey who managed to connect Randy Weaver with an attorney to represent him in the unlawful standoff at Ruby Ridge back in '92 by the FBI in some unlawful operation procedure. The FBI/BATF shot Mr. Weaver's unarmed wife Vicki, who happen to be holding a baby in her arms, in the face, shot his dog, and another individual in the back.
